ASCL1, NKX2-1, and PROX1 co-regulate subtype-specific genes in small-cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Lineage-defining transcription factors (LTFs) play key roles in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) pathophysiology. Delineating the LTF-regulated genes operative in SCLC could provide a road map to identify SCLC dependencies. We integrated chromatin landscape and transcriptome analyses of patient-derived SCLC preclinical models to identify super-enhancers (SEs) and their associated genes in the ASCL1-, NEUROD1-, and POU2F3-high SCLC subtypes. We find SE signatures predict LTF-based classification of SCLC, and the SE-associated genes are enriched with those defined as common essential genes in DepMap. In addition, in ASCL1-high SCLC, we show ASCL1 complexes with NKX2-1 and PROX1 to co-regulate genes functioning in NOTCH signaling, catecholamine biosynthesis, and cell-cycle processes. Depletion of ASCL1 demonstrates it is a key dependency factor in preclinical SCLC models and directly regulates multiple DepMap-defined essential genes. We provide LTF/SE-based subtype-specific gene sets for SCLC for further therapeutic investigation.

Lineage transcription factors ASCL1, NKX2-1, and PROX1 are enriched at super enhancers and co-regulate subtype-specific genes in small cell lung cancer [HiCHIP]

Project description:Heterogeneity between tumors is a major barrier to the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Identification of molecular markers to characterize and classify tumors can facilitate the diagnosis and development of targeted therapies. Here, we analyzed genomic regions, called super enhancers (SE), across multiple SCLC cell lines and patient-derived xenograft models, and find SE enrichment is sufficient to classify SCLC models into recently defined SCLC molecular subtypes SCLC-A, SCLC-N, and SCLC-P defined by the transcription factors ASCL1, NEUROD1, and POU2F3, respectively. 3D chromatin structure analysis identified genes associated with the SE that assemble into subtype-specific tumor-signatures with genes functioning in diverse processes. Focusing on the SCLC-A subtype, transcription factors NKX2-1 and PROX1 were identified as ASCL1-interacting proteins. All three factors bind overlapping genomic regions within SEs in SCLC-A cell line models. Nevertheless, combined loss of all three factors suppresses growth of SCLC-A similar to that seen with ASCL1 loss alone, continuing to place ASCL1 as a key dependency factor in a subset of SCLC. Focusing on genes co-regulated by the three transcription factors, two SCLC-A subtype-specific cell surface proteins, SCN3A and KCNB2, were identified. Loss of either channel alone did not disrupt SCLC-A growth in vitro, but they may serve as diagnostic tools in subtyping SCLC.

TTF-1/NKX2-1 and ASCL1 binding regions in a small cell lung carcinoma cell line, NCI-H209

Project description:Although Thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1, encoded by NKX2-1 gene) is highly expressed in small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and lung adenocarcinoma (LADC), difference in the functional roles of TTF-1 between SCLC and LADC remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to clarify the differences in the TTF-1 binding regions and functional roles in SCLC and LADC. Employing chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) , here we compared the genome-wide TTF-1-binding profiles and the TTF-1-mediated transcriptional programs in a SCLC and a LADC cell lines. We also investigated ASCL1 binding regions in SCLC cells.
